Good Morning Everyone!

As I was blog surfing yesterday, I saw that There She Goes clear stamps are having a birthday bash all week long to celebrate their first anniversary. My first reaction was 'They're only a year old?!' It seems like they've been around for much longer. They're celebrating this milestone with a big birthday bash full of challenges, games and give aways. Everyone loves give aways; including me! The first challenge, TSG17 Jessica posted is to create a birthday card. Easy peesy!

I pulled out one of the sets I got to play with during my guest trendsetter position a couple of months ago. It's called Bloom and it's still my favorite floral set ever!

I used this week's Weekend Sketch Challenge WSC94 for the layout and the sentiment came from an Inkadinkado set called Nostalgia, which I found at Michaels. The patterned paper is from K&Company and I practically got it for free! I was checking out at Michaels a few weeks back and the cashier noticed (my fetish) the K&Company purchase and turned around to dig something out of a cart she had behind her. She pulled out this Lemon Drop stack and said it was being discounted to $3. Shut up!!? Seriously? Hand it over lady! Actually, I was much more polite than that, but I was definitely thinking it! LOL

Anyway, I just wanted to say Happy Birthday to Jessica and to her company, There She Goes. I wish you many, many more anniversaries to come!

Sad, but one of the cashiers at my Michael's knows about my paper addiction too. When they have sells or I have a coupon she would say I was expecting you in here. This is a fabulous pack of papers and I love the ones you used in this card. So bold and vibrant. Just gorgeous!

This is beautiful! I would have found it very hard to pair up flowered paper with a flowered image, but this is absolutely perfect and I love how the paper enhances and complements the image! Totally Fab!
